Robert's daredevil gallantry and extravagance soon earn him the sobriquet of 'Le Diable, and he puts the coping-stone to his folly by gambling away all his possessions at a single sitting, even to his horse and the armour on his back. Robert has an âme damnée in the shape of a knight named Bertram, to whose malign influence most of his crimes and follies are due.
Though, to be sure, this very morning I had another note from Cadogan Marlborough's ame damnee you know pressing it on me that nothing should get abroad. So when we go, we'll be off without a good-bye, and if you must leave a word behind for the anxieties of my lady, let her know that you are off with me to see the army in Flanders." "I profess, Colonel, you are mighty cautious."
When Sheffield writes a lampoon, I am sure to hear of Christian having corrected, or copied, or dispersed it he is the ame damnée of every one about my Court the scapegoat, who is to carry away all their iniquities; and he will have a cruel load to bear into the wilderness.
Miss Landale, the eldest of the family, had had a disappointment in her youth, as a result of which she now played the ungrateful rôle of old maid of the family. She suffered from chronic toothache, as well as from repressed romantic aspirations, and was the âme damnée of Rupert.
Those who were in the secret did not wonder at her luck. She was the âme damnee of Flora Bellasys. Whenever the latter ventured on any unusually daring escapade, she was always really accompanied by Miss Thornton, or supposed to be so. How the influence was originally acquired I know not; at the time I speak of she had no more volition left than a Russian Grenadier.
I'estois damnee, et mes enfans auec moy, si nous ne fussions morts miserables; ils ont receu le sainct Baptesme, et ie croy fermement que mourans tous de compagnie, nous ressusciterons tous ensemble." As winter advanced, the Huron houses became a frightful spectacle. Their inmates were dying by scores daily. Before spring, about half of their number were dead.
He glared pop-eyed indignation from a congested countenance, his fat lips quivering and his jowls as well; and then as Beelzebub tapped him familiarly if lightly upon the chest, his face turned wholly purple, from swollen temples to pendulous chin. "Well met, âme damnée!" P. Sybarite saluted him gaily. "Are you indeed off so early upon my business?"
For once, the paper-white face of Andray Dunnan's âme damnée showed expression, but whether it was fear, surprise, shock, hatred, anger, or what combination of them, Trask could no more than guess. "Trask! Satan curse you...!" Then the screen went blank. In the telescopic screen, the other ship came on unfalteringly.
Yet ame damnee, or master devil, whichever he might be I felt sure that the key of our success lay in unearthing him. So, while the Princess tracked her brother, I begged off at whiles to haunt the purlieus of the Palazzo Verde for three days without success. But on the fourth I made a small discovery. Halfway up this lane a narrow door broke the wall of the Palazzo Verde's garden.
Charles and Henry Adams jumped at it like salmon at a fly, with as much voracity as Jay Gould, or his ame damnee Jim Fisk, had ever shown for Erie; and with as little fear of consequences. They risked something; no one could say what; but the people about the Erie office were not regarded as lambs.
